A piece of land known as Old Walls or Cutler's Tenement was bought in June 1697 and a meeting house was built on it which still stands. The roof had to be replaced in 1802. Last used 28th September 1864. The last Kingsbridge Friend, George Fox, was buried in the meeting-house graveyard on 11th June 1891. After a period of occupation by the Salvation Army the meeting house is now a Roman Catholic church. No access through the church to the burial ground which is still in the care of The Society of Friends. Nine Balkwills, nine Prideaux and six Foxes, 24 of the 27 names on the well-kept headstones, were buried there. No burials are dated earlier than 1819, none later than 1891.
